29 We Figh (2/2)
When Amaryll heard Knight she closed her opened mouth and gave him a death stare.
Don ignored the two of them and looked at Arwen
”Arwen destroy the huts and everything you've made” Don said.
Arwen did not need any explanation for the order he was given because he knew a single clue could reveal their enemies that they have stayed here so he just nodded and went back to do his work while Don turned to look at Amaryll and Knight.
”Knight help Arwen and make sure we don't leave anything behind and Amaryll bring back everyone here After Knight and Arwen have done with their work”
Amaryll wanted to ask him more about his adventure but seeing his cold expressionless face she decided that before she finishes her job she wouldn't get anything from him so she went back to gather the elves.
It took nearly an hour to destroy the clues and gather the elves around in one place. The elves other than Amaryll, Arwen and Elrond had no idea what was going on, they were very confused but they trusted Arwen and Amaryll so they went along with them.
When Don saw the faces of the elves he decided to give them some idea about what he was going to do.
”I know most of you don't know what's going on but you'll know everything very soon” as he said he made the connection to Catalie in the castle through the Khal.
”Hello Brother is everything alright?” Catalie's childish voice had heard in his ears.
”Yes Cat I'm all set, activate the teleportation array” Amaryll, Arwen and even Knight looked at Don confusedly and wondered about who is this Cat he was talking to and how.
”Ok brother I've locked on your coordinates there are 132 people beside you including you and a magical beast”
”Activate it” Don ordered Catalie after confirming there were indeed 132 people around him.
”Teleportation process begins 1...2...3”
At the moment she said three, a powerful strange beam appeared from the skies as Amaryll closed her eyes when she saw the bright light, the beam enveloped them and in a second it disappeared along with them, there was nothing not even a single person could be found where they've stood a second ago.
Amaryll was tightly clutching Arwen's hands when she slowly opened her eyes. She was standing in a spacious room and before her was a projection of a little girl in a white dress.
This is the first time in a long time they were seeing or being inside of a room and for some of the elves, this is the first time ever including Arwen and Amaryll.
”Welcome to the Castle of Dragon King everyone” the girl in white dress happily said and floated towards Don to be beside him.
At the moment they heard the words Dragon King the elves began to chitter-chatter and looked afraid as well as shocked.
Don didn't mind the elves
”Follow me” he just simply said and made his way to the throne room followed by Knight, where Arrora and Uncle Dior were waiting for them.
Elves stood there for a moment but as soon as they saw Arwen and Amaryll following Don they chose to follow them.
Eventually, the elves including Arwen, Amaryll, and Elrond reached the throne room and saw Arrora and Uncle Dior beside Don who was standing in front of a majestic throne like a king looking down on them.
”Cat show them what the Dragon King said” Don was thinking about how to convince the elves to join his army willfully from the moment he found the castle and finally found a way when Catalie said she recorded the battle and the whole thing that happened after that just in case.
What's better than actually showing what the Dragon King himself said he thought.
Catalie nodded her small head and raised her hand as a beam came out of her palm and projected what happened from the moment Don met the Dragon king.
The elves were terrified when they saw the Dragon King and shivering in fear, while the projection of battle came everyone was startled and shocked and looked at Don with a mix of respect and admiration even when he was beaten to death by the Dragon King.
”Son of a” however when Knight saw Don was beaten like this by the Dragon King, he was furious at the Dragon King then after a moment when he saw Dragon King helped him by opening the space ring to provide him the healing potion he calmed a little.
After a few minutes, the projection ended and the elves stood there trembling in fear, their skins turned pale. There was only one thing going on their head, it was the great war the Dragon king mentioned.
”Now you all know what is going to happen” Don broke the silence in the hall and continued
”The bandit attack you've faced was actually orchestrated by Minister Bryan in Slave city and a powerful mysterious mage”
Every word he said was like pouring ice-cold water on them.
”The peaceful life you had till then was over, now you have two options before you first, you can choose not to fight and die or enslaved in the war or in the hands of the mysterious mage”
Don made sure to highlight the word 'Enslaved' when he talked because he knew about the proud nature of the elves, they would die rather than being a slave.
”The other option is you choose to fight, fight for your lives fight for your freedom fight for your future and children”
Don tried to rekindle the fire within them by his words and gladly his tactics seemed to work as a little determination appeared in their eyes.
”I don't know when the mysterious mage going to make his move or when is the great war is coming but what I know is if we don't fight we die or would be sold like toys to be played with”
just when he said that even the female elves looked determined to fight because they knew about the reality of slavery and imagined themselves as slaves for a moment, of course he could see some cowardly elves in the group but he won't force them yet.
”So are you going to follow me to fight or die like cowards?” even before he could finish the chorus of the elves reverberated the hall
”We fight!!” most of the elves didn't stop, they shouted with all their strength including little Elrond.
Seeing the elves like this made him a little happy because now he could really turn them into a deadly force.
”Brother what now?” seeing the chorus of the elves Catalie asked Don quietly
”Catalie we have a training room right?”
